clubs that don't have a facebook public profile or at least an official group are missing out huge... even twitter is pretty good for clubs imo


While I do agree with you, I think there's a downside to that too. Many ppl (myself included) get swarmed with multiple invites and private messages not only from promoters and the club's group or fan page. People get annoyed and are reluctant to stay in the club's group, or keep promoters as their friends.

Also, some clubs don't update the events on their FB page either - and then you run into the same problem as them having an out-of-date website.

Realistically the upside to having a FB page is probably better than the negative.

agreed, some definitely spam too much. it wouldnt really be necessary to send out a msg more than once a month or two if the info was updated there

my point was just that instead of having a flashy website any average user can manage a facebook page. i think clubs just ignore their facebook or website sometimes, figuring people come out anyways... the same way most would never answer the phone at the bar unless you call in the perfect hour-long window when someone is there and willing to answer it

Does anyone else get about 5-6 invites to each and every major guv and/or footwork event?

Ridiculous.

i think for guv they have so many different promoters in a night who all create their own fb events, even though their networks all overlap with each other

sure ink has one but it's only for their events, which obviously doesnt cover everything. same problem with the guv website (i think this was mentioned earlier)

If I wanted to find the facebook event for a party at your club, I'd goto your website, where you should have a prominently displayed link to it... then I'd click it.

The way some people go about promoting/marketing is worse than a monkey fucking a football.

i know, i honestly think the clubs don't care

they just figure people will come out... a lot of places got a hard dose of reality this year when they aren't even guaranteed to fill up on saturdays, and thursdays are a dead night for most these days

I find a lot of these come from local "opening" djs who are desparate to prove they have a following....
